"Great location on the lake.
My husband and I kayacked, fished, brought our pup along. We enjoyed sitting on the porch overlooking the lake.
The owners were more than welcoming, anticipated our needs before we thought of them. "
"This is an "ok" place to stay. The rooms are clean but there are absolutely no amenities. There were electrical problems in our room and they did not turn on the AC prior to our arrival. With temps in the 90s it took quite a while for our room to cool.down. The view was the best part of our stay."
"The room smelled old at first, other than that, its an older place but peaceful, no issues, safe, nect to the lake which was awesome. Staff were excellent- great hosts"
